Thornbury residents have formed an action group to save Armstrong Hall from closure. The Armstrong Hall Action Alliance aims to work with the council to restore the venue after it was closed by the trustees rust in March due to the financial impacts of Covid-19. The Thornbury Musical Theatre Group, the Northavon Youth Theatre Company and Groups involved in the Thornbury Arts Festival are among the many who depend on hall. “Thornbury is well-known for its thriving arts organisations and active community, something that is going to be needed more than ever as we rebuild from the challenges of the last 18 months,” said the AHAA in a statement.
